Recently, the European Commission supported by many European countries has announced large investments towards the commercialization of quantum technology (QT) to address and mitigate some of the biggest challenges facing today's digital era - e.g. secure communication and computing power. For more than two decades the QT community has been working on the development of QTs, which promise landmark breakthroughs leading to commercialization in various areas. The ambitious goals of the QT community and expectations of EU authorities cannot be met solely by individual initiatives of single countries, and therefore, require a combined European effort of large and unprecedented dimensions comparable only to the Galileo or Copernicus programs. Strong international competition calls for a coordinated European effort towards the development of QT in and for space, including research and development of technology in the areas of communication and sensing. Here, we aim at summarizing the state of the art in the development of quantum technologies which have an impact in the field of space applications. Our goal is to outline a complete framework for the design, development, implementation, and exploitation of quantum technology in space.
最近，在许多欧洲国家的支持下，欧盟委员会宣布对量子技术（QT）商业化进行大量投资，以应对和缓解当今数字时代面临的一些最大挑战，例如安全通信和计算能力。二十多年来，量子技术领域一直在致力于量子技术的开发，有望取得具有里程碑意义的突破，从而在各个领域实现商业化。量子技术领域的宏伟目标以及欧盟当局的期望，单靠个别国家的单独举措是无法实现的，因此，需要欧洲各国进行大规模、前所未有的联合努力，其规模只有伽利略或哥白尼计划可与之相比。激烈的国际竞争要求欧洲各国协调努力，以发展用于太空的量子技术，包括通信和传感领域的技术研发。在此，我们旨在总结在空间应用领域产生影响的量子技术发展的现状。我们的目标是勾勒出一个用于太空量子技术设计、开发、实施和利用的完整框架。
